Synopsis
Pulmonary hypertension is a known consequence of left heart failure. However, little is known about the pulmonary vascular and right ventricular changes caused by increased pulmonary venous pressure independent of left heart failure. By surgically banding the inferior pulmonary vein confluence in swine, we created pulmonary venous hypertension without damage to the left heart. Here, we report results from 4D flow MRI analysis of vessel flow, vessel velocity, cardiac flow compartments, and pressures measured via right heart catheterization in this novel model.
